A little bit of history is born...

This is a wonderful photo moment and how similar the two new mothers seem. Princess Diana thrust the monarchy into the modern limelight and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, has continued "humanizing" the royal family. Happy, casual and normal are the words that come forth when we applaud the arrival of the new royal prince. I love seeing Diana's beautiful sapphire wedding ring on Catherine's finger has she holds the next heir. This is living, fluid history. That ring already in a way belongs to the new prince. William inherited his mother's jewelry and fittingly gave that ring to Katherine, a romantic gesture to honor his mom. I wonder if I will be alive to see the next photo of the Prince of Cambridge's wife holding their infant and wearing the same beautiful symbol of love. I can only imagine how the world will change in that next thirty ? years.  What is remarkable is that I can see, in my mind, the tradition continuing and the next beautiful smiling mother representing our future. This iconic moment, captured in a photo, is why the monarchy is cherished by many. These private individuals share their lives with the whole country and everyone gets to partake of that special happiness like a birth. Congratulations !
